Question
Two match officials carry an injured rugby player from a rugby field on a stretcher. The rugby player weighs 95 kg and the stretcher is 2.5 m long. One of the stretcher bearers (bearer A) is able to lift a weight of 60 kg; the other (bearer B) is unsure how much weight he is able to lift.
- How much weight must bearer B support?
- How far from bearer A must the injured rugby players center of mass be in order for the stretcher bearers to carry the load without tipping the injured player out?

- A cargo ship has been badly loaded and is dangerously down at the stern. Fortunately, there is a massless crane based on the ship near its bow. The captain decides to balance the ship by using the crane to lift a container from near the stern, move it horizontally forwards, and lower it onto the bow. When does the ship's angle begin to improve?arrow_forwardConsider the 63.6-kg mountain climber in the Figure below. Assume the given angle of the rope from the rock wall is 33.5 degrees instead of 31 degrees; likewise assume the angle of the climbers legs from vertical is 11.4 degrees instead of 15 degrees. Find the force that the mountain climber must exert with her feet in pounds on the vertical rock face to remain stationary. Assume that the force is exerted parallel to her legs. Also, assume negligible force exerted by her arms. 31 15 Type your answer...arrow_forwardCalculate the magnitude of the force in the elbow joint in units of newtons.arrow_forward

The subject lies on her back, extends her relaxed arm to the side and two scales are placed below the arm. One is placed under the elbow and the other under the back of her hand. Construct a problem in which you calculate the mass of the arm and find its center of mass based on the scale readings and the distances of the scales from the shoulder joint. You must include a free body diagram of the arm to direct the analysis. Consider changing the position of the scale under the hand to provide more information, if needed. You may wish to consult references to obtain reasonable mass values.arrow_forward
